The poor are even worse off now than when Feudalism was the system of choice by the assholes in charge. Why, you might ask? Well back a number of centuries ago, it was a commonly held belief under Feudalism that your class was your Fate, born a Serf or born an Aristocrat, this was not something you were held responsible for - and thus poverty was not something you necessarily need be ashamed about - it was simply preordained for you.
But in today's world, not only if you are poor you carry the burden of soul crushing poverty, but you are then blamed for your own poverty - and you are meant to believe the system and the assholes in charge have no hand in your poverty. We are all to believe in the meritocracy myth of the Capitalists and Warmongers in charge.
